the boy in the stripped pyjamas

A very touching story. Amazing use of language- great for children aged 11-14. Lots of detailed scenes including lots about World War 2. Can't stop reading it!

Thanks John Boyne for writing this book!

The best book i have read

This book is so good. I cried at the end and I was shell-shocked about what they had to go through. I'm so addicted to this book like I am to purple and chocolate!!!

The boy in the striped pajamas

This book was amazing I think that I would recommend this book to a person who likes to hear people's survival stories. I would say you would want to be a little older like 13 to understand this book. Sometimes there's some words and things that I didn't understand. Like they say don't judge a book by its cover I would of never thought of the book to be like that. When I think of the boy in the striped pajamas I think of a little kid book but it's nothing like that.

The Boy In The striped Pyjamas

Well, the movie is just as good as the book, but the book puts it in sections and helps build more tension because if your like me I don't read a book in one night it will be finished with in about 2 weeks. So by reading the book it makes you want you want read on but you can also just wait for a bit and then you can come back to it :) but I enjoyed the book so much :)

Amazing

The book was great, and it was very touching. The book taught me to never hate someone that is different than you, you should always try to be friends.

Educative

The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas is such an educative book. This novel opened my eyes to history, it showed me just how innocent Jews were. Every young person should read this book!!!! I had to write a review on the novel and there was no critisism at all.

Beyond the Book:
